Down with the flu? Need something to warm you up? CHICKEN PHO! Pho ga!
chicken pho: my go to when I’m feeling noodly or sick or when I just don’t know what to eat. I also like this dish with vermicelli- super good

crab roe noodles: so damn good it’s a light umami flavored broth with tomatoes and just goes so well together especially with that crab roe paste. So damn good. ( my usual order when I don’t want chicken pho)
fried sweet potato shrimp: it’s like shrimp and sweet potato cake, so good especially eight the sauce and the lettuce wrap

Overall, the food is good. I'm still on the hunt to find good bun rieu in the 626. Open to...
